Multi-factor authentication

Multi-factor authentication combines two factors (username and password + SMS/phone/authentication app), which makes it significantly more difficult for third parties to gain unauthorized access. A stolen password alone is no longer enough, so even in the case of successful phishing attacks, access remains blocked if the second factor is missing.

Be sure to review our notes on the limitations of multi-factor authentication before enabling it in your portal.

Below, we describe how to configure multi-factor authentication in Intrexx.
